to depression?
A. 26% B. 39%C. 47% D. 58%

The Team Clinical Psychologist, RN Clinical Nurse Manager (inpatient
unit), 2 psychology graduate students, RN floor staff, and one undergraduate research assistant
The Mission Project revolving around inpatient geriatrics and
depression How to choose a focus?

16% of Geriatric Outpatients diagnosed with depression, but this is likely higher inpatient (Reynolds & Kupfer, 1999)
Geriatric patients with depression Higher rates of illness, higher illness burden, and increased risk of suicide (Levy, 2011)
BUT, we’re not getting all the diagnoses right! (Castel, Shahar, German, & Boehem, 2006; Koenig, H., 2006; Garrard, et al, 1998)
In fact, up to 50% of MDs report diagnostic confusion in geriatric patients.
What others knew …

ECU Dept of Family Medicine Already do some consulting to inpatient unit Full range of behavioral health services as outpatient, including
work in brand new Geriatrics Center
Initial Planning of integrated research Team met several times – at first included RN, clinical psych, and
1 graduate student Grew to include nursing research supervisor for hospital (as
consultant) Graduate student – point person on day to day execution
Beginnings of a collaborative project
![Page 8: Lessons Learned in Geriatric Collaborative Care: What if the Status Quo Just Won ’ t Budge?](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020500/56815168550346895dbf99da/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Planned procedures RN staff would screen/administer, then Bmed staff would
conduct chart reviews Consent, MINI-Cog, GDS, “Detection” question, Chart review
(demographics, treatment team, past depression dx, current treatment for depression, and assessment of depression)
Examine correlations between various demographic/treatment factors and provider/patient detection
The Study Itself
![Page 9: Lessons Learned in Geriatric Collaborative Care: What if the Status Quo Just Won ’ t Budge?](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020500/56815168550346895dbf99da/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
36 Participants GDS above cutoff – 28.6% Mean age – 73.4 17 C, 19 AA; 10 M, 26 F
Zero SI endorsed by any patient or staff Patient detection correlated with :
Life is empty*** Bored Happy***
Extra High yield questions?
Study Findings

GDS NOT correlated with age, gender, hospital admits GDS WAS correlated with self detection
RN data – not usable
Depression variables (problem list, treatment plan, medication) – indicated some scattered documentation We are capturing it in at least one place (usually) Problem list was key variable (link)
Study Findings

Collaboration – better upfront planning Better buy in from “on the ground staff” Needed “point person” for RN (ie, RN student) Better operational definitions (via chart
abstraction) Unexpected factors
Admission numbers Flu
Technical difficulties (staffing, space, computer) Contingency planning
